Hi,

The link on http://www.boost.org/tools/build/index.html#Jam

states that bjam executables can be found at:

http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=7586

but I don't know which of the bjams there is an executable for cygwin on win98

There isn't one, but rebuilding from source is trivial.

OK.

The page should be updated then, because it says that executables are available.

They are, but not for all imaginable platforms. I guess there's an implicit reference at the end "Cygwin users can use the cygwin executable to work around Windows 9x command line length problems, but only if they are using cygwin-gcc compiler (other windows compilers don't play particularly well with this executable)." -- Dave Abrahams Boost Consulting www.boost-consulting.com

They are all likely to have been built on XP - probably the safest bet is to build it yourself - just cd into boost-root/tools/build/jam_src and:

make CC=gcc

should do it.

I don't think so; ./build.sh should do it. At least, that's what the docs say to do. -- Dave Abrahams Boost Consulting www.boost-consulting.com
